From schnitzel to vegetarian star cuisine to the typical Beisl: In Vienna, guests can still eat well at midnight, indulge in regional specialties at brunch and enjoy a top menu at (almost) any time.
If you are looking for the aromas and flavours of Viennese cuisine, you will find them in Viennese Beisln, inns, restaurants and coffee houses. Surrounded by art, culture and vineyards (with a view of the Danube), the "Heurige" turns out to be a highlight with a glass of wine. Vienna is the only metropolis in the world that has significant viticulture within its city limits.
